One could of couse dial 911 and get an ambulance for the old lady, Give your friend the car keya and ask him to drive McDreamy home - this way you earn points with both. Your buddy sees an opportunity :ph34r: (but nothing will happen because she is so in to you), Ms. McDreamy sees how chivalrous and selfless you are...Or you get stuck at the bus stop with a corpse while your buddy makes time with Ms. Right...Stupid question anyway you look at it. :)

And I thought I had it bad. Worst question I was ever asked was, "If you were a fruit or vegetable, what would you be and why?" College interview. Didn't get in. :blink:

I was asked which way my cans faced in my kitchen cabinets....talk about catching me off guard

:huh: what? I think they just want to know if you're anal......I don't think they'd be happy with the state of my cupboards at this moment in time.......

remember that psycho movie, Sleeping wtih the Enemy - - with Julia Roberts and her psycho controlling murderous husbnad, who alphabetized his spices and all the things in the cupboards? OMG I had a crazy boyfriend like that (he did not try to kill me, insofar as I know) and so my girlfriend dragged me to see that movie, so I would recognize it......I quickly left the relationship......

so that guy would get the job, I think.....? :lol: With all the cans facing the same way?

okay get this......today a lady comes into the store (happens to be blonde!) and says, I need a 32 by 40 Bristol board.....and she is standign there very confused....and says, but your signs says 40 by 32, that isn't the same thing is it? :huh:

:lol::lol::lol: true story!

I currently can't access my emails--since Saturday :angry: The internet provider (Verizon) says that it's their fault and the problem is in their system :blink:

Patti, I got back on line to discover that I didn't actually have any emails worth reading.... only 54 trying to sell me viagra in various languages!!! :unsure::unsure:

...and poor Richard nursing a broken funny bone :( ...and struggling against the artic conditions.

At least take comfort in the fact that life goes on.(we Brits don't cope too well with extreme weather!!)

Here in the UK life virtually ground to a halt when it snowed a couple of weeks ago. I spent an hour in conjested traffic getting my son to school to be told on arrival that the school was closed :blink:

...and in some schools here (the ones that were open) the kids weren't allowed out at break time for fear they would (heaven forbid) throw snowballs. That would never do as someone might get hurt!!! :huh::huh::blink::blink::blink:

well now THERE is Nikki, back wtih us and in a slightly Faustian transaction now has a monitor, HOO-RAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! More silliness from you please! :rolleyes: We've missed you..... :P and you are ordered to visit every day now, and please, we've not had a report lately on all your friends in the closet/cupboard and what they are up to.... ;)

Yes, faustian indeed! (excellent choice of wordage) but a girl's gotta have her monitor!

Ha ha!-- my wee friends in the cupboard are in fine fettle nestled amongst old paint tins, lovingly tending the xmas tree (which needs some work as it looked a bit tired after it's twelve days 'out'.)......we just shared a cup of hot chocolate with some excellent home made gluten-free biscuits. I have promised them I will share stew with them if I get the slow cooker, which they are very excited about (it gets quite chilly under the stairs.)

TEST FOR DEMENTIA Exercise of the brain is important.

Ha ha!..failed at number 5!!! :lol::lol:

Meanwhile,....some crockpot a.k.a slow cooker Open Original Shared Link.

OMG I love Meerkats, are they not fascinating and adorable creatures, yet don't ahve expanded cable (seld-imposed rule as I may have already told you folks, talk about evil time-sucking vortex!) and so don't get to see the show unless I sit transfixed at the computer monitor, and what with downloading all of my celiac disease's and creating playlists and configuring the Ipod, there is already too much time spent here of late.................

And those friends under the stairs, I am jealous, they sound like such fun! I am going to whip up a batch of marshmallows (for my mom's V-day gift, a bit late :ph34r: ) just now and will have to share with my, er, imaginary friends.

carry on, everybody - - :P

Welp...I'm inclined to the slow cooker as you can throw stuff in it and let it cook but my hubby loves his Foreman grill. I think they're good for different things....slowcooker for stews, pot roasts, yummies.

Hubby just uses grill for burgers and buns (not my buns :P )

I was just thinking I SO wish we had a water cooler that we could hang out and gossip around! How fun would that be, if we all worked together and could go out for drinks after work, make fun of the boss behind his back. Let's see...what kind of company could we start?

OMG we could make our own Open Original Shared Link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's see. I think Richard could be in charge of engineering this baby. I could be a tester and write markety sounding brochures. SusieQ could do the artwork for the ads (I think she could could make it look pretty). Nikki- you could be the UK rep but you'd have to fly over for weekly meetings because we need to see you :rolleyes: . Lisa could be in cahrge of customer satisfaction :P Who else is in?

...my first internal email...

WHAT TO DO WHEN CAUGHT SLEEPING AT YOUR DESK

------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. They told me at the blood bank this might happen.

2. This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in the last time management course you sent me to.

3. Whew! Guess I left the top off the liquid paper.

4. I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm!

5. This is one of the seven habits of highly effective people!

6. I was testing the keyboard for drool resistance.

7. Actually I'm doing a "Stress Level Elimination Exercise Plan" (SLEEP). I learned it at the last mandatory seminar you made me attend.

8. I was doing a highly specific Yoga exercise to relieve work related stress.

9. Darn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem.

10. The coffee machine is broken.

11. Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot.

12. Boy, that cold medicine I took last night just won't wear off!

13. Ah, the unique and unpredictable circadian rhythms of the workaholic!

14. I wasn't sleeping, I was trying to pick up contact lens without hands.

15. Amen.

OK...it's official now that we have our first internal email. We are The Silly Yak Bumper Dumper Company!

The boss has to be someone we dislike so we can gossip about him/her around the water cooler. My choices are (now remember this is the CEO of a toilet company):

Dick Cheney

Donald Trump

or better yet...someone cute so we can talk about him around the water cooler :wub: How about Colin Firth?

And the CFO can be someone Richard picks. A hot chick who's good with money!

Patti- You can be the head of human resources. You only hire nice people (except the boss who either has to be cute or mean. I vote for cute!)

It's official, my wife is now the CFO. :rolleyes:

If nepotism isn't allowed at Bumper-Dumper LLC I'll have to think a minute...Oprah is pretty good with money, but not so high on the "hottie" scale...maybe Kim Basinger? She was in some Open Original Shared Link(with Val Kilmer, maybe?) about a safe cracking hottie...that's pretty good with money in my book - as long as she's stealing for the company, and not from it!

No Oprah (but Patti is the head of HR) so you'd have to run it by her. EDIT: If we hire Kim, we hire Val!!!!!!!! :wub::rolleyes:

Nikki- You are also the COO (chief operating officer) cuz you write good internal emails!

SusieQ- I see you! I know I wrote this somewhere, but I'm coming to San Francisco March 9-15 with my dad. We have to meet (can we charge it to the comapny expense account?).

Wait...what's my job? Oh yeah.... tester. Hmmm.... might have to rethink this one. I could be the toilet poet! :ph34r:

Some people think it's funny, but it's really hot and runny! :P

Ancient history and now my life is SO freaking boring and mundane, living here in hicks-ville....story for another day......harrumph....and DEEP sigh..... :(

You turned down New Mexico and Val Kilmer in one fell swoop? :blink: You could have used said crazy ass singer to get you there then run off to Open Original Shared Link with Val!

*yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn* Hi! I'm here now, still in my robe, reporting for duty, but that's okay, isn't it? ;)

I know......what was I thinking? I just couldn't imagine being trapped in a hotel room wiht the angry little man......he was too difficult to spend time with - - - being in Big Sur, with my own car for getaway, was easier......trapped for four days in N. Mexico - despite Val Kilmer - - too crazy......

yes, phantom boss to drool on or over, that is great ! I say.......more than one.....like a posse of phantom bosses - - becasue I want Sam Sheppard, Robert Duvall, George Clooney (such a flirt and funny and has that house in Lake Como), and......I"ll think of more later. ;) gotta begin the day here....made marshmallows last night :rolleyes: and am so proud of self, must cut them apart now for delivery. ;)

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      It wasnt really eye catching, but they were small stains which looked like dried out liquid. I dont know if it was normal or shouldve been just completely clean. But if someone didnt pay attention, it wouldnt be noticeable.

      If there were stains or particles on a drink can in an area that would either contact the drink or my lips, I would wash that can whether or not I had celiac disease.

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      You are on the money, but I should also add that Italian, French and other countries research shows exactly what I have said. Our FDA is behind the ball when it comes to this research and I am hopeful that Kennedy can straighten this out soon, albeit he is giving the food companies too long to just remove food dyes from our foods when in fact they have to remove all that in order to sell for example, in the UK as they aren't allowed such things. The food companies and the cola companies have also changed their formulas to have just sugar in them instead of corn gluten aka high fructose corn syrup and corn starch in them. Misinformation here in America is a very dangerous thing. I also have been grain free for a long time now and at no time can I even have the smallest amount of corn gluten -I recently got glutened from a supplement that claimed to be grain free yet upon further research I found that it had erythritol (corn sugar) in it and that is what got me sick for 7 days straight. I am not hopeful to ever be able to add back into my diet any of the grain glutens, but perhaps those who were only gluten intolerant might be able to, but for me being celiac, I have no hope in that. Thank you for the article, I will add it to my collection of research as I am collecting everything I can find on this subject and posting it on X as well as other places.  I also don't use psuedo grains i.e. quinoa as that also reacts negatively with my gut, so I am 100% a cassava/tapioca/arrow root girl and that is my go to bread replacement. There are some new items made with chicpea/green peas that are sold as rice alternatives, i bought one to try but haven't yet. So food companies are getting creative, but like you said, I am fresh whole foods and don't buy many processed foods, I make my own cheese, ketchup, pickles, jams, etc.

      By Dora77 · Posted

      There were small spots (stains) on the drinking area at the top of the energy drinks can from the store that looked as the same color as milk — maybe oat milk (Hafermilch) or a wheat-based drink (Weizendrink), but I’m not sure what it was. There were also some particles that looked like either flour or dust, but not many. Could it have been a gluten-containing drink spilled onto the can or just regular small stains which I shouldn‘t worry about? Do you watch out for stuff like that or am I overthinking? Would it cause damage to a celiac?

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is such an important discussion! While corn gluten (zein) is structurally different from wheat gluten, emerging research suggests some celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals may still react to it, whether due to cross-reactivity, inflammation, or other factors. For those with non-responsive celiac disease or ongoing symptoms, eliminating corn—especially processed derivatives like corn syrup—might be worth exploring under medical guidance. That said, corn’s broader health impact (GMOs, digestibility, nutritional profile) is a separate but valid concern. Like you mentioned, ‘gluten-free’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘healthy,’ and whole, unprocessed foods are often the safest bet. For those sensitive to corn, alternatives like quinoa, rice, or nutrient-dense starches (e.g., sweet potatoes) can help fill the gap. Always fascinating (and frustrating) how individualized this journey is—thanks for highlighting these nuances! Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
